We often have different partners in the games I officiate. I found out this partner has even less experience than I (2yrs.) do. I don't know every person in our association so sometimes I am not sure who has experience and who doesn't.
I usually go over this in pregame but found some experienced officials who look at me like I'm from Mars. "I been doing this so long I forgot more than you'll ever know, etc." Which is sort of humorous because I am 39 year old second year guy (but have been around the game as a player and coach most of my life) and I get paired with some 30 year old that has been officiating for 10 years.
Anyway I think from now on I need to go over this and make sure we are on the same page. By the way what are the normal things you go over in pregame?
